zope2 releases based on buildout make it very hard for distributors to package zope2. especially as zope2 requires from what i know about buildout (and that's not much), it either requires a working internet connection or a local mirror with exact versions of all required python eggs.
i would highly appreciate a final release tarball which includes all required python library/module eggs.
This ought to be easy using zc.sourcerelease. We (zc) use it to make self-contained tar balls from which we build rpms.
yes, thanks for suggesting that. i don't know much about buildout, and didn't give zc.sourcerelease a try yet, but i'll take a look at it. are the scripts you use to make self-contained tar balls and maybe even the build scripts for rpms available somewhere? i guess they would be of great help for me to understand how zc.sourcerelease works. greetings, jonas
